short bio
|
| In the past Ben worked for Radio central not only as a co-operator
but also as a dj. Too much money spent on vinyl so making his music
seemed much cheaper!! First instruments: Korg MS10 and MS20, the authentic
TB303, Yamaha R5 drumcomputer or something like that, and a two track
TEAC bandrecorder. After a while the whole 'caboodle' was sold for a song (do you get the joke?) because our 'little digital boy' didn't have a clue how to synchronise the whole lot. When in 1991 he had the chance to borrow a Korg M1 workstation, Ben started making some wilful cover-versions of Tom's Diner (Suzanne Vega), The Robots (the Krafties) and a decotion of Human Leage's Empire State Human, but of course, all these versions being none the worse for society!!! For the second time he bought a computer (Pentium). His prehistorical verion, a Tandy TRS80 Model 3, couldn't fit the modern interior of his bedroom anymore. Ben discovered suitable soft and hardware to store his musical ideas. In 1997 the project was baptized as Propulsion! (praise the lord((s) of acid?)) During a local gig Ben met Bart who was experimenting with his
solo-project Artificial Night (Strange bleeps from outer space,
if you ask me...) The musical resemblance (and of course many alcoholic
beverages during the first night they met) was there so, B&B
agreed to go on together, by using the name Propulsion. Propulsion also joined in the Oost-Vlaams Rockconcours and enjoyed
the rocking night (S**, Drumcomputers and (block) Rocking beats)!

Propulsion will sustain, maintain and if you don't understand these words, they will persevere! |

other projects

Artificial Night (Bart's solo project) is also an underground project.
At the moment it is very underground because since 3 years it has
been completely silent. |
